Photo is from a Walmart in Virginia, two weeks before the gun deer season. Other than a few boxes of .300 Win. Mag. (we don’t shoot a lot of whitetails with the .300 Mag. around here, lol) the shelves were pretty much bare. There were 2 lonely boxes of Winchester 165-grainers for .30-06, a fine round that many Virginia hunters do use. I’d have scooped them up, but I have a good stash of .30-06 at home. Sure they are long gone by now. The ammo shortage of 2020 is real and widespread across America, worse in some places than others, right before the start of gun deer seasons. I asked followers on Twitter if ammo was scarce where they [...]

A television reporter asked Joe Biden if he wanted to take away peoples’ guns and he snapped back, “Bingo!” He means it, and then some. Bearing Arms reports: Gun owners will be left with a choice; hand over your (so-called assault weapons) to the government in exchange for some amount of cash, or fork over $200 per firearm in order to register them under the National Firearms Act… The National Rifle Association estimates that gun owners would pay at least $3.6-billion in taxes if they wanted to legally keep their guns: A tax of $200 on 18 million AR-15s means that gun owners could potentially be required to a pay a collective $3.6 billion in taxes, if this policy were enacted [...]

I have been getting many inquiries about the future of Remington and I’ll keep you posted best I can.—M.H. In July 2020, Remington filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and since then the company has been looking to sell off its various brands, including Remington firearms, Marlin and Barnes Bullets. The Wall Street Journal reports: Firearms maker Remington Outdoor Co. has agreed to sell its ammunition business out of bankruptcy to South Carolina-based investment firm JJE Capital Holdings LLC for $65 million plus the assumption of liabilities, subject to better offers. The JJE offer came in the form of a stalking-horse bid, setting a floor on the sale price for Remington’s ammunition business, which the company has been marketing while in [...]

Today’s guest blog from Gary Guth, who has stuck with me on the BIG DEER BLOG for many years: Mike, 5 years ago you shared a story on your blog of a Browning A-5 that used to be my dad’s and eventually came back to me through a friend. It was an awesome story, and I know it touched a spot in your heart as well as mine. Well, here’s a similar story. Last month I was approached by a friend that asked if I was interested in buying a shotgun. Not just any ordinary shotgun, it was a Remington Model 58! Little background to this gun. It used to belong to my wife’s first husband, Scott, who passed away [...]
